While I move, a delay in posts 13 Jan 2011 I am about to move to Sydney, although the Brisbane flooding has caused me no end of problems. This will mean I cannot post for a while; perhaps two weeks, although I doubt it. I should be able to comment a bit. Please bear with me and don’t start reading that PZ guy instead. He has enough readers. Administrative
Administrative Travel Diary 3 6 Oct 2009 Here I am in Erlangen, after two whirlwind days with Thony Christie, seeing Albert Speer’s version of the Coliseum, lots of Nurnberg and Erlangen sites, and some originals of Conrad Gesner’s never-completed Historia Plantarum.

Finnish Public televion and commercial media echoed all day that also tide is high in Brisbane due to full moon (!). We both tried to contact media to correct but nothing helped.
